Oberheim OB-SX Vintage 80's Analogue Polyphonic Preset Synthesiser

The Oberheim OB-SX is a 6-voice analog synthesiser that was released between 1980 and 1983. It was designed as a more compact and durable version of the Oberheim OB-X, specifically for live performance. It shares the same analog circuitry as the OB-X, using 2 VCOs per voice and featuring voltage-controlled filters (VCF) and amplifiers (VCA). However, some features were simplified, such as preset sounds stored in ROM instead of patch memory and fewer real-time controls.

The OB-SX was famously loved and used by Prince. It was features in his music videos and live on stage.
